tcpwrapper configuration

[Jaime Loreto]

I had installed the tcpwrapper into the server, and in order to show a banner to
all the users before they connect to
server via telnet, I used the Banner.Makefile, and I saw that the banner appeared with the operating system name and the version, Do you have any idea to get off this information? Thanks in advance!

Do you know where it's pulling the info from? Try changeing the following files

/etc/issue
/etc/issue.net

Those are the standard "banners" for telnet logins. That might do it.
Also, in your inetd.conf file you can add a statement after the telnet or in your case the wrapper statement with the banner. Check the man page on that. I don't recall the syntax off the top of my head.

Hope that helps,

Brian

Hi Jaime,

You should have a look at files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny; on the last field, there is probably a "banners" statement, as in the following example (excerpt of one of my hosts.allow):

--snip--
rlogind : @tchsgdt-hosts : banners /etc/banners/allow
--snip--

So if this is really the case, then remove banners statements from these files, and they should not bother you anymore.

I hope this helps !

Regards,

Fred.
